All four mean watched as Graves's body was transferred into one of the vans, though it was hidden away in a body bag, his features were forever imprinted in their minds. Storm winced in pain as one of the paramedics pressed down on his wound.
'Sorry'.
He heard them say, 'I've survived worse', he chuckled and Baloc joined his side, 'and that's true', he patted his shoulder, 'so, is he going to lose his leg? Will I have to get him a wheelchair?'
'Lockie, shut up'.
The paramedic laughed, 'oh no, he's fine, he'll be on a crunches for a bit, but he won't lose anything'.
Leo and Marcus stood silent, but their attention had moved over to one of the big black SUV's parking nearby and a woman hopped out.
'Who's that?'
Leo asked and Storm looked past him, 'oh, that's Margot Finlay, our boss, don't worry she won't bite', Baloc shook his head, 'Storm, don't lie', he dodged a light punch, 'you guys will be fine, there's nothing to be afraid of'.
When Finlay joined their sides her eyes instantly began assessing the two other men, 'so you two are the famous Foils and Humphrey, you've caused a lot of trouble for us'.
Storm could see the guilt and confusion cross their faces, but Finlay smiled, 'but we're all glad that you're here in one piece, and I'm surprised that you two made it this far considering what you had to go through'.
Marcus smiled down at her, 'it wasn't too much, we've both gone through it before', Storm winced when he moved his leg, 'I can't wait to hear more about this project when we're all settled down, I've been quite interested in it when I started to read into it', he quickly noticed Leo and Marcus's eyes grow wide with fear, 'don't worry, I'm just genuinely interested, I'm not gonna join or anything', he didn't laugh but the tension had vanished.
'Yes, well about that project, 'we'd like to talk to you about, but we'll have to talk about it when we're back in the office'.
Finlay adjusted her sunglasses before heading back to her car, and when she drove off, Storm could tell that the two men were nervous, 'don't worry buddies, Baloc and I will be talking to you anyway... At least Baloc will, just in case I'm not able to'.
He gave them a reassuring look, but that was all he could give them for the moment.
'I guess it's time for you to get a ride back now'.
Baloc showed them the car, 'when we get there, you'll just be put in one of our interrogation rooms and I'll be with you in a bit', he said as he opened the car door for them.
